I knew I was in love when I found myself watching Love Actually on Box Office last month. Watching Love Actually with a videotape in the machine, the controller in my hand and hate in my heart, for hours, just so I could capture for my boyfriend the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it love story of Martin Freeman and Joanna Page as the shy porn stand-ins — because I knew he’d like it but he’d never be such a sap as to watch the whole thing. Greater love hath no broad than to sit through a Richard Curtis film just for the Martin Freeman bits, to spare her man the rest of it.
